Please stop changing time. STAHP. It takes serious effort for me to remain on a decent sleep schedule and everytime we switch it just fucks my shit up for a week or more. I hate it so much
I hear you. Even with “fall back”, I will go to sleep at the new time, but will wake up an hour before my alarm, effectively loosing an hour of sleep every night. I’m a mess after a week until my body adjusts again.
Technically, this is daylight savings time ending, so this is changing the clock back to the normal time zone. But yes, they should probably stop it
Same when going on vacation to a place around the equator. I live in Europe so peak summer the sun doesn't set until eleven. Then when you travel to the tropics. Sunsets "Damn it's already that late, i haven't had dinner yet" looks at watch "WTF it's still six o'clock"
I've had it in reverse while visiting Germany.
Same. This messed with my head so much the first time it happened.
Those long summer evenings though......👌
NW Florida here, latest sunset is 7:55PM. Today it's at 4:58PM. :( Living in Chicago I saw sunsets around 8:30 in the summer.
Stupid fucking fall back to standard time.
But if we stayed in daylight saving time, in January the sun wouldn't rise until like 9 am in some places.
Maybe if we just stayed in standard time all year round, the shortening days wouldn't be so jarring to people because it would happen gradually instead of having a sudden fall back of an hour in autumn.
Or we stay in daylight saving time all year round and just accept the dark mornings.
Or the people who really don't like shorter days in winter can just move to the equator.
I would way rather have a late sunrise than an early sunset. It's not even close.
Exactly, I do stuff after work. In the morning I just go to an office that has electric lighting.
Of course there are jobs that don't take place in an office, but having worked one of those, in my case we already just worked daylight hours, not a 9-5.
I however find it agonizing to get out of bed when it's cold & dark outside.
Same, but i would rather have the darkness influence my work over my personal time.
Get a sunrise alarm clock. Coming from a northern region, it’s mandatory in the winter DST or ST.
I haven't used an alarm clock since 1988. I let my circadian rhythms wake me up. My circadian rhythms are more important to me than sacrificing my health for the rat race. And part of my health obsession included moving to Southern California where it's pretty much always springtime.
Some of us have to be, you know, at work, by a specific time, because people require and depend on us.
In lots of places, that would mean that sunlight would be exclusive to oligarchs. The rest of us would almost never get home from work in time. I get that CEOs want early light and early darkness: we usually accept overtime when there's no hope of catching any sunlight, unlike late light and late dark where they have to put overtime on days with bad weather.
Let's do none of this and make everyone miserable!
I want summer time the whole year. Summer time is warmer.
That’s why rich people own so many homes.
Can you first stop putting Mary Poppins letters beside the time that mean something arcane ?????
Nah. It’s 7.55. AM or PM, no difference. Welcome to Finland, the land of depression and suicide.
Finland has been #1 on the happiness rankings for a long time.
All the unhappy people kill themselves.
This but with excitement.
